The San Antonio Spurs have been active in this, the early hours of free agency. They kicked off by signing the reigning Defensive Player of the Year Kawhi Leonard, then found a great home for Center Tiago Splitter, trading him to the Atlanta Hawks and into the hands of his former coach, Coach Bud. They followed this up by inking arguably the best 3 & D player in the league, Danny Greene, to a Four year, $45 million deal. But now the heavy lifting begins.
The San Antonio Spurs made another unexpected draft pick when they selected 7’0″ Serbian Nikola Milutinov, who was not on any pundits radar coming into the draft.
“We’re excited to get Nikola,” Spurs general manager R.C. Buford said. “He’s a young big guy that has improved a great deal over the last year. As we look to the future, we need to replenish our size. To add a player like that, we’ll give him a chance to develop and see what he can do.”
Shortly after he was drafted, Milutinov tweeted:
“What an honor and a privilege to be drafted by the @spurs. I am very excited to get to Texas.”
